I do use art as a site of protest, particularly in relation to dominant narratives.
I like working intensely, then going away and thinking about it, working out why it didn't work and then coming back to it. It makes the work richer, I think.
If there is a book that the script came from you have to read it, you have to see what you can get out of it: mood, back story and things that may not even be in the film. They kick off your imagination and broaden the character, I think.
The guys on the stunt team are really fantastic. It's really funny, because for all the aggression they have to display on screen, they're actually really happy, good- natured people.
It's a career that's enticing because you go on stage, for example, and people clap. You get that affirmation, but you can't go into acting for that because it's really your own self-belief that's going to get you through.
I hate being pigeon-holed into anything. To me, the best thing is when the next job comes and is completely different to the one that I just had.
I have plenty to look forward to, I'm sure.
Keep it up, wise guy. I'm always going to be taller than you once you're lying unconscious on the ground.
I had to survive a lot. I didn't premeditate my life. Life just happened as it did. And I had to figure it out as I went along.
I've always had a talent for building businesses - and, importantly, for creating jobs. That's a talent America desperately needs.
The thing I'm going through is probably like the same thing that Little Richard and all these other artists go through, that I hear about them, saying, 'Oh damn, you ain't gonna give me nothing till I die,'. . . I feel like I'm one of those type of great people that just going to have to wait till it's all over with for people to really sit around and talk about it.
